Abstract

İlgili literatüre göre hem sayı hem de format olarak farklı marka mimarisi stratejileri vardır. Çeşitli özellikli ürünler için fonksiyonel, deneyimsel ve sembolik kavramlarla çeşitli marka mimarisi stratejilerini izlemek mümkündür. Bundan dolayı çalışmanın konusu ürün yelpazesindeki stratejik marka kavramlarına göre izlenen marka mimarisi stratejileridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ürünün fonksiyonelliğini, deneyimselliğini ve sembolizmini sunan öğelere göre ne tür marka mimarisi stratejilerinin izlendiğinin incelenmesidir. Anket yöntemi ile 247 katılımcıdan veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma hipotezlerini test etmek için tek yönlü ANOVA kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, tüketici açısından bakıldığında, ürün yelpazesi çeşitli sembolik ve deneyimsel stratejik marka kavramlarının bir kombinasyonunu içerdiği durumda, ürün ve hedef gruba özgü marka mimarisi stratejisinin izlendiği görülmektedir.
